It is considered one of the most important pioneer projects in the medical field globally.
Stem Cell Therapy is the possibility of transplanting human or animal cells to replace damaged cells or tissues to treat diseases.
Cell therapy and gene therapy may be used together to achieve the best results.
What is the reason for the interest in stem cells?
Increased understanding of how disease occurs. By watching stem cells grow into cells in bone, heart muscle, nerves, organs and other tissues, researchers and clinicians can better understand how diseases and conditions develop.
Generating healthy cells to replace diseased cells (regenerative medicine). Stem cells can be directed to become specific cells, which can be used to regenerate and repair diseased or damaged tissue.
Categories of patients who could benefit from stem cell treatments include; People with spinal cord injury, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, stroke, burns, cancer and osteoarthritis.
Stem cells have the ability to grow into new tissue for use in transplants and regenerative medicine. Researchers continue to provide advanced information about stem cells and their uses in agriculture and regenerative medicine.
